The better deal for Mike would be the second snowmobile offer.

Reason:

First, we must find out how much each snowmobile cost for one day. To do that you simply have to divide the cost of the snowmobile by the price.

First offer - $500 / 100 days = $5 per day

Second offer - $450 / 150 days = $3 per day

As we can see, it is cheaper to rent the second snowmobile and you are able to keep it for a longer amount of days.
